Do only and just mean the same thing? Well, sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. Watch this video to find out when we use each word. I will teach you several ways to use these words in different contexts. I’ll also give you lots of examples, so that you understand when the words are used as adjectives and when they are adverbs. We will practice together first and then you’ll get a quiz to do on your own.

I’ve been traveling across the country with the only propose of learn new things and I was running out of money with just the enough to eat, to drink a beer, to sleep and to pay the bus tickets.

I really appreciate the huge effort you do to give us the best quality classes and the most important thing, and is not the only one, but is that thing that make us more interested,is your passion to teach.

I feel difference in the last sentence. Assume that you and your 5 friends want to buy 6 tickets. But there were only 5 tickets available. Or the other case, if you need only 5 tickets and there are the last 5 available for you, you can say there were only 5 tickets available and no more left.
So, the “just” means “exactly” in case fit your needs, but the “only” in this case can means that not enought.
Should the sellel say one or another (just/only) in both case?
Thanks.

you are the “only” master who can teach us great.this is the session “just” i needed.this is the “only” video i enjoyed thoroughly. you are “just” indeed. thank you for the nice lesson. you are really fabulous.

Thank you James. I just look at the questions and answered. Didn’t think of the lesson. if I put the other word in blank the sentence would be wired.the only question I need to look twice was the function of the word.

I just got one mistake for all 9 questions. That due to your great lesson. Thank you a lot. Your video is just what I looking for and of all my online teacher, you are the only one that is funny, creative and enthusiastic.

The only thing to improve your English is keep practicing. You just need to trust yourself that you can. Sometimes people will mock at you because they only pay attention at your mistakes. Just ignore them. We’re all know that the only person who can make you better is YOU. Just don’t give up :)
